Ah ok. What you wrote could be read in 2 ways. I took it that Oct results would be 5 to 1.

Bralod is rash but not THAT rash!

That makes it worse. People would rather preorder a PS4 bundle for November than buy the Halo bundle for THIS month. Think about it. It doesn't change the fact that it's approaching 5 bundles ahead of the Halo bundle. We're talking about consumer interest, not what those 5 bundles mean in terms of sales this month. |
Yep I'm aware. COD and Star Wars bundles have been pretty high in the charts since announcement while Halo 5 LE console has only just recently just started to go up the charts.
Whats killing the Halo 5 LE console is the price. But this doesn't change the fact that there isn't a surge in X1 consoles being sold in preparation for Halo 5.
What is clear is that nobody should be getting carried away with predictions. People mostly preorder if it's LE console or the fear of a console shortage. There's no shortage of X1s and the Halo LE is $500. My guess is that the vast majority of consoles sales effected by Halo will be just before launch and the following weeks... and there will be a lot of X1s shifted. I think the PS4 pricecut will give the PS4 October but I'm not going to get carried away predicting huge margins between the two.

That would be an asumption though, and while I would say it's a legitimate take on the current situation, I'd say it's more likely it's just the fact it's not selling as well as expected. I certainly wouldn't discount that possibility though and I'll definitely bare it in mind.

You know what GG, I just can't predict this month. It could go either way and we could see huge margins between PS4 and X1, there are too many ways this could go. This is by far the most unstable month we've had in a while. X1 could have a price cut and it would just make things even more unpredictable.
Fun to watch it unfold though.
| Hiku said: I still find it an odd decision that MS didn't make a standard Halo 5 bundle. Either they are planning a $50 temporary price drop for the holidays, or it's a sign that they're focusing on profitability this time around. |
I think thats what they should do focus on making money not winning.

It certainly is a fun month. I don't know how to describe how I feel about sales either ... it's really odd. I think the only thing I can say is that I thought there was a possibility of PS4 taking October -- after watching Sep and early Oct -- but I still had an incline towards XB1. Now I'm inclined towards PS4 but still think the XB1 could nick it. At the moment though, I'd say Sony for sure but this month is no were near done yet. I'm going to call it on the 27th.

A far cry (not the game) from when a lot used to claim that MS had endless piles of cash to waste on the Xbox brand just because "they can".
Mind you most of that talk used to be on N4G.
Once the Destiny bundle is restocked it's over.
